Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the relation between a local coordinate system located in the working range of an industrial robot and a robot coordinate system.
- the invention is, for example, suitable for determining the relation between a work piece coordinate system, or a fixture coordinate system, and a robot coordinate system.
- a basic problem in robot installations and commissioning of robot cells is the identification of the relation of the robot to a work piece to be processed by the robot.
- the robot is supposed to perform work on the work piece and the work piece is located in the working range of the robot.
- the same problem arises in cases when the robot holds the work piece to be processed and a tool is located in the working range of the robot. In that case the relation between the tool and the robot must be identified.
- the reason for the work piece identification is to define a local coordinate system in the work piece that can be used for programming the robot to perform work on the work piece.
- the programming will be done in the coordinates of the work piece, which will give better understanding by the programmer.
- An alternative would be to program the robot in the robot base coordinate system. However, this will be less easy to understand for the programmer.
- the programming is done in the work piece coordinate system the programming will be easy to reuse if the relation between the robot and the work piece is changed for some reason, such as moving the installation. The reuse will simply just include a new identification of the relation between the robot coordinate system and the work piece coordinate system. Further, use of offline generated programs will be supported in an easy and accurate way.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining the relation between a local coordinate system located in the working range of the robot and the robot coordinate system, which method is simple, quick and accurate.
- Such a method comprises: Attaching a first calibration object in a fixed relation to the robot, determining the position of the first calibration object in relation to the robot, locating at least three second calibration objects in the working range of the robot, wherein at least one of calibration objects is a male calibration object having a protruding part shaped as a sphere, and at least one of the calibration objects is a female calibration object comprising at least two nonparallel, inclining surfaces arranged to receive the sphere so that the sphere is in contact with the surfaces in at least one reference position, determining at least one reference position for each of the second calibration objects in the local coordinate system,
- the invention supports an automatic, quick, easy, and accurate identification of positions to be used for calculating the local coordinate system.
- the method is suitable for being carried out automatically by the robot itself.
- the robot can be programmed to move the first calibration object to the second calibration object, and further until the sphere is in mechanical contact with the surfaces, and accordingly the sphere is positioned in the reference position.
- the robot is provided with a self searching capability, for example, using force control or soft servo, which moves the robot in a compliant way until the sphere is in mechanical contact with the surfaces of the female calibration object.
- a self searching capability for example, using force control or soft servo, which moves the robot in a compliant way until the sphere is in mechanical contact with the surfaces of the female calibration object.
- At least one of the calibration objects is a male calibration object having a protruding part shaped as a sphere and at least one of the calibration objects is a female calibration object comprising at least two nonparallel, inclining surfaces arranged to receive the sphere so that the sphere is in contact with the surfaces in at least one reference position.
- the reference position of the calibration object is defined as the position of the sphere when it is in contact with the surfaces of the female calibration object.
- the female calibration object has only two surfaces, there exists a plurality of reference positions positioned along a straight line.
- At least two reference positions should be measured in order to determine the line.
- the calibration object has three nonparallel, inclining surfaces there exists only one reference position and the position of the sphere can be determined in relation to the surfaces of the female calibration object in three degrees of freedom. In this case it is enough to measure the one and only reference position.
- the inclination of the surfaces is in the interval of 20-80°, and preferably in the interval of 30-60°. If the inclination is too steep, the measuring becomes uncertain and if the inclination is too flat it is difficult to find the position in which the sphere is in contact with the surfaces.
- the first calibration object is, for example attached to the robot, or to a tool carried by the robot.
- At least one of the calibration objects comprises three nonparallel, inclining surfaces arranged to receive the sphere so that the sphere is in contact with all three surfaces at the reference position.
- the sphere is combined with the three inclining surfaces, there is only one position in which the sphere is in contact with all three surfaces and a single, accurate position of the sphere in relation to the surfaces is defined.
- the sphere is allowed to rotate freely in all dimensions and the only thing that effects the accuracy of the position information is the accuracy of the sphere.
- This embodiment provides an accurate and repeatable position of the male calibration object in relation to the female calibration object.
- the sphere is attached to the robot, the other calibration objects are shaped as grooves with two inclining surfaces, and at least three grooves are located in the robot work area such that their longitudinal directions are non parallel, and the method comprises moving the robot in a compliant way until the sphere has been in mechanical contact with both surfaces on all three grooves and the positions of the robot has been stored for all three grooves, and calculating the relation between the local coordinate system and the robot coordinate system based on the positions of the robot when the sphere is in mechanical contact with the surfaces of the grooves.
- the robot is automatically moved by means of force control.
- the force control makes it possible for the robot to automatically locate the position in which the sphere is in contact with the surfaces and accordingly to automatically find the reference point.
- force control is meant that the force or torque between the first calibration object and the robot is measured in at least two directions and the movement of the robot is made in dependence on the measured force or torque.
- the force or torque is measured in at least three degrees of freedom in case the calibration object is provided with three inclining surfaces.
- the sphere is in the reference position when there is a force or a torque in three directions.
- Force control is an active and sensitive control.
- the robot is automatically moved by means of a soft servo.
- a soft servo is robot control without a position loop. The soft servo makes it possible for the robot to automatically locate the position in which the sphere is in contact with the surfaces and accordingly to automatically find the reference point.

Accordingly, the sphere fits exactly in the tube at one single position, in which the sphere is in contact with all three surfaces 20 - 22 .
- the reference position is defined to be the centre point 25 of the sphere when the sphere is contact with all three surfaces.
- FIG. 2 c shows the sphere and the surfaces when the sphere is located in the reference position.
